Sonnen - Strategien Politik ohne Alternative
Herman Scheer
Serie Piper, München 1995.
ISBN 3-492-12135-7
303 Seiten, 208 Referenzen, Deutsch
From the backcover of the book:
Als Politiker setzt sich Herman Scheer seit Jahren für die Nutzung der Sonnenenergie ein. Die Ignoranz ihr gegenüber ist für Scheer ein "politisches Jahrhundertversäumnis". Dem "Weltkrieg gegen die Natur" stellt er eine politische Sonnen-Strategie entgegen, die langfristig auf die völlige Ablösung atomarer und fossiler Energie durch Sonnenenergie setzt. In diesem Buch entwickelt Scheer dafür konkrete Handlungskonzepte.

From the backside of the book-cover:

How should we respond to the greenhouse threat ?
The great majority of the world's climate scientists have no doubts about the reality of global warming if nothing is done to cut greenhouse gas emissions. Yet so far governments have been reluctant to act.
The Greenpeace Report, written by leading scientists and energy analysts from around the world, explains the scientific data and assesses its implications. Commissioned as a shadow document to the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the report outlines the urgent measures that the policy-makers ought to be asking our governments to adopt if we are to escape what could be the most serious threat our planet has ever faced.
